Local applicants only. Adjunct faculty positions are not eligible for UMUC sponsored logistical support. Applicants must have and be able to maintain their own legal status in the country in which they apply to teach. Please note that a valid passport is required as a condition of employment and you must be in possession of a valid passport at the time of final offer of employment.

Materials needed for submission:

Resume/ Curriculum Vitae

Cover letter highly preferred

Unofficial transcripts for all conferred degrees with conferral date

Two professional/academic references with email addresses and phone numbers

If selected, and if your highest degree was earned from an institution outside the US: UMUC requires a 3rd party credit evaluation from a NACES approved vendor (http://www.naces.org/). If you submit a copy of the evaluation to UMUC then the official transcript would still be required. If the institution does not issue official transcripts then a letter would need to be sent from the institution to UMUC stating what degree was earned.

Who We Are and Who We Serve

UMUC—one of 12 degree-granting institutions in the University System of Maryland (USM)—is a mission-driven institution with seven core values that guide us in all we do. At the top of the list is "Students First,” and we strive to do just that for our 90,000 students at home and abroad. From its start in 1947, UMUC has demonstrated its commitment to adult learners. We recognize that adult students need flexibility and options. UMUC is proud to be a global, 24-hour, institution of higher learning.

The typical UMUC student is an adult learner juggling a career, family, and other priorities. Roughly 80% work full time, half are parents, and half are minority students. They are continuing their education to better themselves, their families, and their professional opportunities. UMUC is also a leading higher education provider to the U.S. military, enrolling 55,000 active-duty service members, reservists, National Guard members, veterans, and family members annually. We are proud of our military heritage and are committed to this service.
